We have three different scheduling options:

Full-Time

This can be before or after school or both. The only requirement of this schedule is that the days of the week that your child attends are the same throughout the school year. When choosing this schedule type you do receive some "vacation days" that you don't have to pay for if your child does not attend. The amount of days that you are granted is equal to the amount of days that your child attends in a week. For example, if your child attends 5 days a week you get 5 vacation days, 4 days a week you get 4 vacation days and so on..... Once you have used up the vacation days you are responsible for paying whether your child attends a scheduled day or not.

Pick Your Day

If you choose this schedule the days you choose can fluctuate from week to week. If you choose this schedule type, because of its flexibility, you are not granted any vacation days and must pay for the days whether your child attends on a scheduled day or not.

Drop-In

This option is at a higher cost then either a full-time or pick your day schedule. We still need to have advance notice of your child attending for a drop in day. This is for those that will attend very sporadically. If you have another schedule type you may also add a drop-in day at any time if you need additional care.

School Age Care tuition statements are emailed out to you on or before the 15th of each month. Tuition fees cover a one month period and payment is due by the first business day of the month in which care takes place. Credit card or E-Check auto pay is our preferred method of payment. You can sign up for this by logging into your account at www.tridistrict.thatscommunityed.com. You can also log in at any time to make a check or credit card payment, or mail a check or money order to: ISD 197 SAC 121 West Butler Ave., West St. Paul, MN 55118 Payments in any form are not accepted at SAC sites.
